One other feature of Observable notebooks I’m interested in is the ability to import cells from other notebooks. It raises some questions:
- what would be the import syntax? In the case of Python, it could be implemented with an IPython magic?
- how to reference a notebook? Observable notebooks are published “on the web”, so it’s something like a URL. But a Jupyter notebook can live on the local drive, on a GitHub repo, etc.
- how to reference a cell in a notebook? Here again, maybe an IPython magic could set a name to a cell?
